Hardware Test Engineer- HW/SW Integration
Job description
Neros is a defense technology company rebuilding America’s drone industrial base. We design and manufacture high-performance unmanned systems that are tested in combat, iterated at startup speed, and built at massive scale. Our team culture is fast, hands-on, and obsessed with closing the gap between design and deployment.
Job responsibilities
- Own assigned manufacturing test stations as the station DRI, including hardware integration, bring-up, troubleshooting, calibration, maintenance, and continuous improvement
- Develop a strong understanding of product hardware architectures, including PCBAs, power systems, embedded controllers, sensors, communication interfaces, and system-level interactions
- Debug hardware and test failures using lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, power supplies, DMMs, logic analyzers, and other instrumentation to isolate root causes
- Extend and maintain test software by understanding existing test frameworks, modifying scripts, and adding new test coverage to support evolving product requirements
- Work at the software–hardware boundary. Write code that talks to physical devices over standard protocols, handles device I/O, and holds up when software and hardware disagree
- Automate testing. Build software that exercises embedded and hardware systems and turns manual bench procedures into repeatable automated tests
- Partner with Electrical Engineers and Software Test Engineers to bridge hardware and software test capabilities, improving test automation, data collection, and failure analysis
- Analyze production test data, yield trends, and failure modes to drive improvements in test coverage, station reliability, product quality, and manufacturing scalability
